The Obamas Made 800+ Trillion Dollars Last Year (Per Day)

Presidential tax returns for the Obamas and Bidens have been posted online, oh boy. Let’s see, did they make above the median income… yes they did, so: BOO! Jerks. Let’s steal their nice clothes and give them to kitties.

The Obamas gave 22% of their income to charities, to deprive the federal government of much needed revenue and lowering their effective federal tax rate to 20.5%. Is this a higher rate than Warren Buffett’s bumwasher pays? Feel guilty, Obamas! Channel the guilt into a reform… jerks:

The President’s effective federal income tax rate is 20.5%. The President believes we must reform our tax system which is why he has proposed policies like the Buffett Rule that would ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share while protecting families making under $250,000 from seeing their taxes go up. Under the President’s own tax proposals, including the expiration of the high-income tax cuts and limitations on the value of tax preferences for high-income households, he would pay more in taxes while ensuring we cut taxes for the middle class and those trying to get in it.

The President’s strategy of declaring class warfare on himself is disgusting.

He better enjoy the loot while he can 'cause he'll probably be making much less once the GOP rescinds the Emancipation Proclamation.

BIG DEAL. RMoney gave way more to charity, even though it was technically a smaller percentage of his overall salary than Balack Obama!

LetUsBray

Plus, most of it went to the Mormon church's No Civil Rights For Teh Gheys Foundation.

The fact that most of Rmoney's 'charitable donations' go to a church really sticks in my claws. I spread the word on that, whenever wherever I can without be annoying. To get all cornpone: just because he has a right, doesn't mean it's right.

"The Obamas gave 22% of their income to charities,…"

Ya, right. So the National Association of Kenyan Commie Muslins is a "charity" now?!

SayItWithWookies

And under his tax reform proposals, President Obama's taxes would go up. Why does our socialist president hate black people?

Congrats! I'm still trying to hit 9-9-9. Or 6-6-6. One of those marks of the beast.

4,012. Now, just how the fuck did this happen?

SayItWithWookies

Well someone's been outdoing himself with posts of cephalopod sex today…

Hey, I have one job on this ship! It's Stupid, but I'm gonna do it!

Scarily, you made me look, and I'm heading toward 6,000. And, remember, that is only since we have had the new comment system. I think this is the fourth or fifth comment system on Wonkette over the years. I remember that I was once called out as one of the top three posters in a year, back when I was unemployed.

If only I had a life. But I'm sure my Mom is proud.

Welcome to the old Wonkette club. Now if we can get all these whipper snapers off our lawn!

OT, but the racist gun nuts are all gathering at the NRA convention today! Super exciting, and yes, Ted Nugent is going to be there.

BaldarTFlagass

"Note: The city of St. Louis prohibits the carrying of firearms at the America's Center Convention Complex."

Ha ha.

Scalia will see about that.

Generation[redacted]

Its annual meeting kicks off today with a display of high-powered assault weapons more customarily seen in Afghanistan or Iraq than in downtown St Louis, Missouri.

Silly Brits. Have they even been to the South?

ThundercatHo

Sounds like they should just hold the (R) convention at the same time.

ThundercatHo

P.S. How are you feeling, btw?

anniegetyerfun

Not too badly, thank you for asking! Just alternating between being hungry and repulsed by the smell of food. Fetus is looking good, and has already developed a sizable nose (no, it wasn't a penis, we looked from several different angles). :)

OMG, the picture in the linked story is priceless! "I'm looking for a gun suitable for killing my newborn, his father, or both. Now if I just 'accidentally' point this thing in their general direction and let nature take its course…"

Nostrildamus

I just figured they were considering trading up.

Let me guess: Zimmerman is the guest of honor.

Nugent. What can you say about a guy who played bad guitar in the 60's, refused to do drugs when it was Cool, became an over-the-top Gun Nut, played bad guitar in the 70's, saw This is Spinal Tap and thought it was a documentary, played bad guitar in the 80's and 90's, voted for all the Bushes and wrote an op-ed (probably in crayon) saying how intelligent Sarah Palin was?
One day he'll blow his BALLS off with a .50 cal Desert Eagle he's stuck in his waistband and we will all laugh.

I remember ol' Ted fondly from my old partying days. My roommate and I, being the fun, friendly guys we were at the time would often end up with an apartment full of people. We discovered the best way to get people to finally leave was to put on Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes Live and turn it up loud.

C_R_Eature

That's really funny. I used "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" for the same propose. No matter how fucked up people were, they'd always leave.

I had literally never heard of him before he started saying horrible things about our Secretary of State. But then, I hadn't heard of Pink Floyd until well after I got out of college, so maybe I was just really out of touch.

How dare the President, when so many Real Americans are struggling, put up his tax form on the Internet, showing off how much money he makes for playing basketball and having hip hop bar-b-ques every day. He's just rubbing it in people's faces. IMPEACH!

I can comment without waiting for Newt just by glancing at the Drudge hedes:DID PRESIDENT PAY LESS THAN HIS SECRETARY?
OBAMAS PAY 20.5% TAX RATE ON $789,674 INCOME…
Could Have Paid $103,067 More In Taxes Without Bush Tax Cuts, Credits…
Kids get $48,000 — tax free!
CAMPAIGN WANTS ROMNEY TAXES BACK TO '70s…
BIDENS DONATE LESS THAN 1.5% OF INCOME TO CHARITY…
VEEP PAYS 23.2% RATE — ON $379,035 INCOME…

Nice bit of timing by Obama. As the GOPer whirlitzer was howling about "defending" Moms, Barry just smacked Mittens with the one thing he hasn't done which was release his income tax returns. It happens to be that one point that most GOPers really can't defend… being the party of the 1%ers.

Right, Mittens refuses to release his any income tax information whatsoever, but in Republicans' minds, it's Obama who hasn't been adequately vetted, scrutinized, and pixel-bitched to death. If only there were someone's perspective that could help illuminate this seeming discrepancy…

(10g) Before voting for a black politician, scrutinize his/her character much more carefully than you would a white.

Oh, right. I guess that *does* explain it, doesn't it?

freakishlywrong

Murica wants it's tens of millions of tax money back for all of Mooshell's vacaychuns.

Yes! Indeed! Tax the rich! Obarma needs more money to buy more drones, so he and his fancy friends can kill more women and children overseas. Kill a few more hundred thousand mommies and babies! Then he can get's himself another affirmative action peace prize. Nothin say's peace like expensive flyin' machines dropping ordinance on womens and chilrens. Mia Farrow loves it when her precious little Rosemary's baby drops them bombs! Kill 'em all! Let John Lennon sort 'em out in hell.

Hey' we've missed your paranoid racist ramblings! OK not really.

Look dude, you're never going to be able to get a high-paying gig on Fox slamming President Obama until you also include the following names, words and phrases in your rants: teleprompter, Saul Alinsky, Chicago Thugs, Solyndra, Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, long-form birth certificate, Barry Soetoro, Rezco, death-panels.

Seeing as how most of the congressmen in Washington are multimillionaires, this would make the Obama's among the poorest. Clearly we must start the impeachment process and have a bunch of pandering congressional investigations into what sort of funny business the Obama's are up to.
